This is the first Tour de France since 1926 no rider from Spain, Italy or France has won one of the first 11 stages. In 1926 the first rider from Spain, Italy or France to win a stage was Bartolomeo Aimo (ITA) in stage 14 from Nice to Briançon.

The roundabout just outside of 4K looks to be the most dangerous to me. The GC guys are going to want to be first into that corner. By the time they get to the last two turns the sprint train will already be in place. Plus, if there is a crash at the roundabout, we could see some time lost, being outside the 3K mark.

I never understand why the riders in the breakaway start to play games with such a long way to the finish. If winning a stage is such a big deal, keep working together until you get caught or battle it out at the finish
